Hello, I am Andreas, and I am genuinely interested in People and in what they are doing and why. I have an interesting professional development where I was able to observe and learn a lot from people in different countries and situations. I am happy to listen and help wherever I can. I’m now at the age of 57, working as a consultant, mentor and executive coach in São Paulo, Brazil. I am German, spend my first 25 years in Cologne, then worked and lived in Spain, El Salvador, Jamaica, Mexico, and Brazil. My career is in Business Administration and Finance, and I worked with Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Smith&Nephew Medical Devices. My last positions were COO for Bayer Pharma Latinamerica and CFO for S&N Latam. I also opened three small businesses during the last 10 years, two have been sold successfully and the last one – a Consulting Firm I run with my wife – is still on. So, come on and schedule a session for us to talk about you and your project! Best, Andreas

31.March 2023I had two sessions with Andreas, and he does take the time to learn about you and what goals/challenges you may be facing or needing help with at any given time. We had friendly and insightful conversations, there was also some probing but in a positive way. I appreciate his guidance and ideas which also helps with motivation as you start considering things that you probably wouldn’t have thought of previously, and get excited about all the things you can learn on the way. I very much enjoyed our sessions and would recommend Andreas to both new and seasoned mentees.

21.March 2023I recently had a mentoring session with Andreas and it was great. The session was focused on changing companies and roles, managing and leadership, and received some great practical hints on all of these topics. Andreas was very knowledgeable and provided valuable insights based on his own experience, and one thing that stood out to me was that he had clearly taken the time to understand my goals and challenges, and tailored his advice accordingly. In addition, recommended a book that he believes would be helpful for me, which was a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend Andreas as a mentor. Thank you for a great session!

11.July 2022By sharing his own experience, Andreas was able to bridge our respective career journeys. He brought insight & thoughtfulness to our conversation.

24.June 2022It was extremely helpful and such an insightful session! Your experience is very valuable for me and your advice is spot on. I'll continue to work on the aspects we discussed and I'd love to book a further session with you to follow up on these topics. It is also very important from me from the cultural point of view, as a Latin person living in Germany, to get the point of view of a German person living in Latin America for so long, as cultural challenges often create misunderstandings within companies and organizations. Overall, thank you so much and talk to you soon!
